I'd like to bank a small amount of my starter yeast to use in a month or so. How much should I save? I have tiny little jars, similar to the white labs vials... Can I go small like that, and just step up a couple of times the week I want to brew with it?
It seems easy... Tell me if I'm missing anything:
(assuming good sanitary process)
- Pour a small amount of starter, with yeast still in suspension, into a small second vessel.
- chill, decant excess liquid.
- nuke or boil an additional small vessel, leave filled 1/2-3/4 of the way full.
- cool to room temp, and combine in the water vessel, refrigerate, etc...
Sound about right?
Btw, happy Thanksgiving!
